Mike quickly realised that he didn't know how to draw that well.
'Shit' he cursed to himself, 'I guess this is a bad time to be an uneducated monster. Well, i'll hunt down a ruler or something later'
He gazed down at the motly collection of doodles. He had indeed discovered a few things.
One was that he could not just draw the shape of an item and it would be complete. He had drawn a gun, came out as a crappy drawing of a gun.
He had to draw them in 3d, and not only that, but draw every component if he wanted it to work. Naturally this task was impossible for Mike to acomplish. Next, he discovered that he had difficulty creating different materials. He drew a knife on a brick, and got a brick knife. So he started drawing in the air itself, even though he found it incredibly weird to do so.
After more and more failures, and many dippings into the bucket of ink, Mike ended up no better off than when he started.
He turned his gaze skyward, into the outlined sun.
He knew it cast no light, and wasn't some big burning ball of hydrogen in the sky. It was a shape, just there for the hell of it.
The world had been the same light even before it was drawn, so it was easy for him to come up with that conclusion.
Mike turned his attention to another task he needed to figure out: how to carry the ink, without holding the whole bucket.
